Lookout Hunting

Thanks LOJ fam for taking me with you to Katoomba

2015: JANUARY

Yup, so much has happened already and only the first month of this year has passed. You can tell by my lack of updating this blog. These are just a couple of photos from my Instagram (kf_ith) to sum up most of this past month- debuts, food, birthdays, youth ministry, adventures.

For this month of February, well .. *walks away* jokes. 

There is much that will happen too! Besides birthdays, valentines, starting Uni again. There is this challenge to apply everything that I've learnt from Nazarite Training and preparations for youth. I've been challenged to become consistent with my health and wellbeing, to completing my to-do lists, planning ahead, become financially wise and cultivate my new group TLC. More than ever, I'm just needing to get myself together and to prioritise. Still a work in progress but a progress that I am determined to keep moving forward. 

Night Noodle Markets

So far, most of my posts have been about food and that's because it's food. Food is great, food is fantastic and yet we can consume it til we knock ourselves out into a coma. Which is not necessarily the idea and purpose for food. That'll be saved for another post. Last night, a few friends and I went to the Sydney Night Noodle Market, pretty much promoting 'Good Food Month.' It's at Hyde Park from 5pm-10pm on Monday-Friday and 4pm-11pm on Saturday-Sunday. Better experience it cause it's only around til the 24th of October.

I have to say .. I have incredible friends that I'm doing life with and it has only been two years since I've known these people. Sounds cliche but they are all answered prayers. I grew up in school never having one friend to stick by me in the long run. I went through the heartbreak of being ignored, replaced, rejected, forgotten, and taken advantaged of. That changed when the fire nation attacked ... That changed only two years ago starting senior high school. I met people who shared the same passion for Christ that I had and people who accepted me for who I am. And I can't be anymore thankful for people like them. They are the future leaders, world-changers, rule-breakers of the future and I get to do life with them. 

Even just the gathering together for food and good company, it makes you count your blessings, turn away from technology for a while and enjoy these moments because it's these very times that we need to cherish. So what's something that you feel incredibly thankful to have? 

THREE MONTHS LEFT

We're almost done with 2014! Only a countdown left of three months and I. AM. EXCITED.

Not because of the cliché, 'new year, new me' but because it means I'm getting closer to half way through my degree, I would've already done half of my first degree (early childhood) I'll be in YD Life (young adults ministry), my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, I get can my green Ps, maybe by then I'll already have a part time job. So much to look forward to!

However, it is still 2014 so #yolo. Jokes. Gotta make the most of it these last three months. So I've set a few goals that I want/need to reach by the end of this year. Here are my main goals:

- Get more than one Distinction for my subjects

- Get through a blogilates ab workout without stopping

- Meet the parents of the children I'm working with at prac

- Finish reading the Hobbit and A Million Little Ways

- Finish reading David

- Clean out my closet

- Finish my journal

It's not the end of the year yet and it is also not too late to do something new. We have three months to make the most of what is left for this year! Trust me, so much can happen in a matter of months. Imagine looking back on this whole year. Crazy how time flies but, my friend, you just better get your cape on and keep up with it too. 

#6WKSOFSEMBREAK // Friends

This semester break so far has been quite lovely, although not as adventurous as I had imagined it to be. However, I've been able to catch up with highschool friends (and recently made friends). Typically going to the toy store and putting on superhero masks, watching Kina Grannis, spontaneous visits to people's houses, lunch outs and all the in between. I am so blessed to have such wonderful lifelong friends who are willing to make the effort to keep friendships going long after our schooling years are over.
